<p>Will the math I use in my physics major be easier or harder than the math I use in my math courses? I just got an A in Cal 2 with a 92. Overall, I did mildly well, but obviously not perfect. I fully qualitatively understand what power series are and everything, but I guess there might be a fuzzy area or two concerning analytical evaluations of sequences and series? I don't know. I just looked at my final exam grade, and it is an 84. I thought I did a little better, though. I think that's why I'm feeling this way.</p>

<p>Oh, also, I went the whole semester without having a solutions manual at my disposal. I will never do that again. </p>

<p>Or, am I worrying myself for nothing?</p>

<p>For mechanics, you will probably only use Calculus I stuff. For E&M, however, you tend to use a lot of Calculus III (also known as Vector Calculus or Multivariable Calculus).</p>

<p>Oh, ok. After sleeping on it, I guess I did well enough to give me a solid foundation in Cal 2.</p>

<p>I'm taking Cal III next semester. I have another question. Where will Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Intro. to Partial Diff. Eq., and Vector Analysis fit into the physics for me?</p>

<p>sigh, a B is good enough...</p>
